What's really going to be a problem is when facial recognition software gets good enough to spot you in other people's photos. You might have the brains not to post pics of the time you got drunk at college and threw the couch out the window on Facebook, but was everyone present as concerned for your future as you?

And every girl whose jerkass ex decided to get revenge for being dumped by posting those "private" pictures she took for him is in even worse shape.

I read somewhere recently how a corporate recruiter was highly suspicious that the candidate she was considering had no presence on the internet at all beyond professional networking sites. I'm not sure that the candidate was passed over but I think the the recruiter felt more reassured by someone with some kind of social presence rather than someone who appeared to have sterilized it.

Every day I am more and more thankful that I graduated before the internet and cell phones. There are some questionable film-photos of me in the backs of dusty old photo albums scattered across the northeast, but the worst of my shenanigans never hit the tubes.

Also, my name was common at one time but is now on the unpopular swing of the pendulum, so while I have namesakes they're mostly older and by now boring.
